This summary published at the close
rl Manacor Ooodale's renort tells th't
story of the year for Walalua planta
tion. I
(Mr. Ooodalo ,lu his review of the.
various crops shows that tho avorago
jlelil ot tho 1909 crop was C.32 tons to
tho acre. Tho .sucrose was higher,
and has been1 steadily improving for
the last three years.
Dealing with the 1910 crop the re
tort says:
Wo began grinding tho crop or 1910
on December 8, 1909, and have taken
off to dato. February 12th. 1910, "6,625
tons of sugar. The sucrosoln cane nas
l-een low, averaging only 12.71 to
January 31st. Tho yield of cano per
aero of tho fields cut to date was
F1.15 tons, and of sugar 6.67 tons, tak
ing 9.02 tons ot cane to make a ton
of sugar.
Tassollng ot the;crop cano was
much lighter than in 1908, and that'
year thero were exceptionally few tas
sels. Tho first tassels appear at about
tho same date each year, but thlssyear
they were later and fewor In number
than over before. Nono ot the fields
tassolcd enough to show at a distance
that they were rlpo and to be ground
for this crop. This Is tho effect of cli
mate and cannot bo controllod by any
known system ot Irrigation or fertilisa
tion. " -The
estimate for tho crop fs 31,500
tons.
-A table Is given Bhowlntthat tho
Wahlawa Water Co. delivered to the
plantation In threo yoars and nlno
months ending Dec. 31, 1909, 31,449,
850,203 gallons of water.
Tho dam filled and overflowed for
14 days In' March and April, nndjt Is
estimated that 1.000.000.000 gallons
iiaascil river the snlllway.
Tho average amount of -water deliv
ered was 24,375,167. gallons per day
for tho entire year. The lowest
month's delivery was In Decomber,
255,000 000 gallons, and the. highest In

Wo began tho year with 470,000,000

Block brokers looked silly this

the between boards 'sales we're not
numerous and whllo tho prices woro
represented as being "firm" the quo

by the. advancing prlco ot raw sugar.
Forty flvo shares of 'Oahu sold be
tween board's at 36.75. and the stock
sheet shows- that 36.50 was bid and
36.75 asked. Consequently one would
presume thst thero .must be a lot of

Thero was an exciting time down on
Nuuanu street thts morning about halt
past ten o'clock, when a man named
Kahclo pulled out a cheap revolver and
fired a shot In tho air. He claims that
ho used tho gun to scare' a friend of
his who had threatened him with bod
ily Injury; " '
,- The affair startod over a trial of
strength at the ancient sport of "lima."
Kahele .was too strong for Leleo and
iho laitcf then remarked: "Oh well,
you beat mo at your game now we
wUlJiave a try at my game". As Le

Kahele became frightened, find ruu

and fired ln"the air hoping to keep

' Then a neighbor who saw the wholo
performance, Informed tho police ot
the matter and an officer, was dis
patched to investigate tho affair, Ka
hele. had retired to rest and every
thing was qulot when the policeman
arrived on the sceno anil as Leleo did
not wish to swear out a warrant tor
Kahelo's arrest, nothing further was
done. In tho matter.
Leleo Is a frequent visitor at tho
police station,' and not always as a
